Hello. Welcome to the homepage of my website...
I am a psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist in San Francisco, and I have been working with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and lifestyles since 1993.
My style of working is warm, open, and non-judgmental. I provide a confidential place where you can safely discuss difficulties you're experiencing. As we talk, I draw on my years of training and experience and collaborate with you on the best approaches to use to create positive change in how you feel, how you live, and in your relationships.
I do two kinds of work with people:
The first is individual psychotherapy with adults. I have many years of experience and training in helping people who have felt stuck in patterns of suffering shift those patterns and transform their lives as a result. The kinds of difficulties I work with include:
- Painful relationship patterns, difficulty being in relationship
- Depression, hopelessness, low self-esteem, harsh inner critic
- Anxiety, excessive worry, panic attacks, phobias
- Effects of recent or childhood trauma, PTSD
- Grief and loss
To learn more about my work with individuals, please visit the Individual Therapy page.
The second kind of work I do is Medical Hypnosis. I use hypnosis, and teach clients self-hypnosis, to empower them to...
- Become a non-smoker for good
- Reduce the symptoms of Irritible Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- Reduce and manage chronic pain
To learn more about the work I do with hypnosis for these health issues, please visit the Medical Hypnosis page.
